Description
Tangrams present your students with an engaging, hands-on way to develop the following skills:
•spatial reasoning
•critical thinking
•problem solving
•understanding of geometry concepts (congruence, similarity, symmetry, rotation, transformation, reflection, attributes of polygons, etc.)
These puzzles are perfect for math centers, fast-finishers, and cooperative learning. Your students will LOVE them!
Included in this resource:
•75 unique full-size Tangram puzzles that will perfectly fit your 4-inch* Tangram manipulatives
•75 smaller Tangram cards (identical to the full-size puzzles), for adding another element of difficulty
•printable 4-inch Tangram manipulatives in various colors and black and white
•an answer key for all 75 puzzles
* Most Tangram manipulatives are 4 inches, which means when you arrange the 7 shapes in to a square, each side of the square is 4 inches long. The full-size puzzles in this resources are designed to perfectly fit 4-inch Tangram sets. You can still use other size sets, but they will not match up perfectly. Some teachers prefer that the sizes do not match up, as this requires students to further engage spatial reasoning skills, which is why I have also included the smaller Tangram cards.

We are using this resource to help our student prepare for SBAC's and they are very helpful with summarizing. They also are useful for homework.
I wish I could get my money back. It repeats itself over and over. So many language concepts are left out. I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew that ahead of time.
We are sorry to hear this, Joanne. We do provide two weeks of material in the preview file so that teachers can assess if this resource will be a good fit. The repetition is part of the spiral review format, which helps students retain the concepts.
This does not connect with google slides or my classroom.
Upon opening this resource, I noticed that the resource itself varied from the preview that was presented. the topics are highly specific, and the pages require intricate cutting and gluing. However, instructions on how to do so to pass our to students or even for myself are not provided. Instead, there is a one sentence summary and small photo of what the completed page should look like. I am extremely unhappy with this purchase, and I wish I could return it. The amount of time needed to decipher, sort, and create instructions for each page makes this more trouble than if I had not bought it in the first place.
This resource is definitely not worth the cost. The pages are simply scanned in with a Google form as an add-on. The Google Form is not student-friendly. I wasted $20 and still have to create my own resources for students. I have never in all my years of purchasing from TpT been so disappointed in a product.

I purchased this product and will be using the larger version pages with my students. However, I don't see a page with a copy of the large tangram pieces that I can print and laminate for my students to use. I just see the small versions. Is that included somewhere and I'm just not seeing it? Thank you. G. Sustachek
Hi Gretchen,
I only include the 4-inch tangrams, since all of the cards are sized for them. You can still use your larger tangrams, they just won't line up perfectly with the cards.
This is missing the last 5 large 4 inch tangram frames, number 71 to 75.
Sorry about that! I am not sure how that happened. They have been added.
